Stormy days are far from my favorites.? As I mentioned in my earlier 
posting, I set my Oly E-M1 up with the 50-200 SWD lens and the camera 
set for Digital Zoom, which I had never explored before.? After seeing 
the Chickadee image, I decided to see how far I could crop the image and 
get a decent result.

I cropped down to the bird itself, using about 10% of the image area and 
processed the resulting image in Lightroom Classic.? I exported that to 
Photoshop, did a little cleanup of bird litter, added 1 count of Focus 
Magic and an auto cleanup in Neat Image.? I wrapped that with a grey 
frame to match the earlier images.? Here is the result:

I found he already had his seed in his beak and was ready to head up in 
the oak tree to crack it.

I was pleasantly surprised how well it turned out.
